Epic Removes Infinity Blade Trilogy from the App Store, Ending an 8 Year Run

Share & comment

Epic Games has announced they are ending support for their classic iOS games from the Infinity Blade series, which took gaming graphics on an iPhone and iPad to another level (via Touch Arcade):

The three Infinity Blade games are no longer available for purchase as of today, 12/10/18. This groundbreaking trilogy took mobile gaming to new heights and pushed Epic Games in new, innovative directions. Along with the three Infinity Blade games, all in-app purchase options have been removed. Current owners will continue to be able to play these games, and download* them to their devices from an account that owns them, for the foreseeable future.

The company explained in a company blog post, “With the development of Spyjinx and other projects, it has become increasingly difficult for our team to support the Infinity Blade series at a level that meets our standards.”

“The Infinity Blade series will always hold a special place for me personally and for Epic as a whole,” said Donald Mustard, Global Creative Director, in the announcement. “It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye, but we are excited for Spyjinx and what the future holds!”

Epic concludes to say “As we bid farewell, be sure to keep your eyes peeled! You may find Infinity Blade popping up in places you wouldn’t expect,” suggesting it may show up in their hit mobile game, Fortnite. Also, to say thanks, they’ve also made Infinity Blade stickers for iOS a free download now.
